Human Information Behavior (17:610:510)

The Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST) is a collection of peer-reviewed, comprehensive, and systematic reviews on topics relevant to information science, computing science, technology studies, and related fields. Published under the banner of ASIS&T's Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST), ARIST’s goal is to update readers on the latest developments in these fields. ARIST’s Editor-in-Chief is Dr. Lisa Given, Professor of Information Sciences, RMIT University (Melbourne).

ARIST seeks submissions across various topics relevant to information science and technology, broadly defined. ARIST’s mandate is to be inclusive of research designs, methodologies, geographic regions, populations, socio-cultural contexts, and epistemological and philosophical approaches in its reviews.

ARIST was published by the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) from 1966 to 2011 and relaunched in November 2021. ARIST reviews from 2002-2011 can be accessed through the ASIS&T Digital Library.

Focus on the scholarly understanding of human inquiry and learning phenomena, especially as they relate to design and uses of information and e-learning systems innovations.

We invite research that builds upon and advances theories, methods, results, innovation designs, evidence bases and frameworks for action present across both information science, and the learning/education sciences scholarly domains.

Information Processing and Management publishes cutting-edge original research at the intersection of computing and information science concerning theory, methods, or applications in a range of domains, including but not limited to advertising, business, health, information science, information technology marketing, and social computing.

The journal aims to serve the interests of primary researchers but also practitioners in furthering knowledge at the intersection of computing and information science by providing an effective forum for the timely dissemination of advanced and topical issues. The journal is especially interested in original research articles, research survey articles, research method articles, and articles addressing critical applications of research.

Information Research publishes refereed papers in the fields of information science, information management, information systems, information policy, archives and records management and librarianship. We are interested in papers that deal with these topics either in general, or with reference to a particular application area. For example, papers on health information management and information seeking in a health context, or on the relationship between media and information seeking or information management, or papers on the relationship between information behaviour and computer use.

The Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST) is a leading international forum for peer-reviewed research in information science. For more than half a century, JASIST has provided intellectual leadership by publishing original research that focuses on the production, discovery, recording, storage, representation, retrieval, presentation, manipulation, dissemination, use, and evaluation of information and on the tools and techniques associated with these processes.

The Journal welcomes rigorous work of an empirical, experimental, ethnographic, conceptual, historical, socio-technical, policy-analytic, or critical-theoretical nature. JASIST also commissions in-depth review articles (“Advances in Information Science”) and reviews of print and other media.

The journal publishes research papers with novel methods or results of wide significance, in all the information-related disciplines. Critical and scholarly reviews are welcome, as are reviews of the evidence base for professional practice, and shorter speculative articles. We particularly welcome submissions exploring topics where concepts and models in the library and information sciences overlap with those in cognate disciplines: these disciplines include, but are not limited to, psychology and cognitive science, the physical sciences, communication and media studies, museum studies, computer science, sociology and publishing. JDoc provides a link between research, scholarship and reflective professional practice. We also welcome contributions in the 'Speculation in Documentation' category. These are short (no more than 5,000 words) contributions, presenting an original concept or perspective.

Library & Information Science Research, a cross-disciplinary and refereed journal, focuses on the research process in library and information science, especially demonstrations of innovative methods and theoretical frameworks or unusual extensions or applications of well-known methods and tools. Library & Information Science Research publishes research articles primarily from a social science perspective.

LISR does not normally publish technical information science studies (e.g., algorithmic methods related to information retrieval or natural language processing) or most bibliometric studies, as these would find greater readership in the many fine journals covering these areas.

The Library Quarterly (LQ) embraces a wide array of original research perspectives, approaches, and quantitative, qualitative, evaluative, analytic, and mixed methodology to assess the role of libraries in communities and in society. Through unique and innovative content that positions libraries at the nexus of information, community, and policy, LQ publishes cutting-edge articles, essays, editorials, and reviews that inform, enable, equalize, lead, and empower our field to adapt to changes. Across these areas, all content in the journal ties to contemporary issues impacting libraries and librarianship.

The editorial objective of the MIS Quarterly is the enhancement and communication of knowledge concerning the development of IT-based services, the management of IT resources, and the use, impact, and economics of IT with managerial, organizational, and societal implications. Professional issues affecting the IS field as a whole are also in the purview of the journal.

The MIS Quarterly’s trifecta vision is to (1) achieve impact on scholarship and practice as the leading source of novel and accreted IS knowledge, (2) exhibit range in work published with respect to problem domains and stakeholders addressed as well as theoretical and methodological approaches used, and (3) execute effective editorial processes in a timely manner.
